@naughtygeorgie I give my pints regularly, its a good feeling if you can do it, that it may just help someone in need

Me too, it's really cool to know where it's gone.  I'm O neg so my blood can go to anyone but I'm stuffed if I need blood and my type's not available.

[mr gumby]

On the blood subject, I believe it's actually a legal requirement for any mention of donating a pint to be responded to via the medium of Tony Hancock, so well done @Milky Joe!

I gave blood for many years, but have been unable to recently due to medication. It's 2 years since I stopped taking them, but apparently have to wait 5! Will definitely start donating again once I'm able

 

[Quark]

I have donated a few times over the past couple of years but really need to get back in the habit...

@H.M.V was it your plumbing Gumby was fixing on Monday?

[Curlygirl]

I'm already on the 'donate everything' list but when I update my driving licence it gave an option on there to become a donor too. That's good me thinks.

I believe that job is covered by @fatyeti24

[MilkyJoe]

I'm on the organ donor list but have never given blood. Not sure why not to be honest. I should look into it.

That would be lovely, but we can't risk it! We need to be grateful for whatever the weather gods give us, and we must make sacrifices now in order to ensure a dry festival!!!

Just rang up Blood peeps. I can't give blood due to my meds . But the nice Irish lady thanked me for my previous donations (love the Irish ladies accents as well).

Opted into organ donation when renewed driving licence.

"they can take my lungs and kidneys, but my heart belongs to Daphne, Daphne!"

So have you all seen that the bloody fence is only bloody well going up isn't it!

Head over to the glastocam page for fence porn!

Have a good day Cg, I'm hoping it's tomorrow morning as I'll actually be awake for it.

Almost my bedtime again unfortunately so I'll have to leave #TeamShaun in all your very capable hands. I even get nervous reaching for my phone when I wake up. That can't be normal can it? 

Catch you tonight folks. Good luck if it all comes on top.

Mate I get nervous every time my phone rings full stop. Stoopid anxiety!!

Leftfield line up looks good this year.  For some reason I've never watched anything there, act or debate or anything.  Definitely remedying it this time round.

Alison Moyet could be a genuine contender for my Saturday night, and Sunday is just looking like an absolute clashterfuck at the moment.  Could be looking at Justice on WH, Skinny Lister in Avalon, Dreadzone on Leftfield, and sods law French & Saunders in the Cabaret!

French and Saunders? Am I missing a rumour?

Excellent work guys, I thought there would be a fair few donators already but a good poke never hurt anyone 

@Funkyfairy! I get a warm tingly feeling when I get the text telling where my blood has been sent a month or so after donation

@sheffieldlady not sure if I've already signed up to that or not but I'll do so right away if I haven't!  I agree an opt out system would be so much more preferable:)

You get a text to tell you what ? We don't have anything like that here, but sounds interesting and must be a great feeling

Aye, Neil's had them down as SR for a while.  Would make me properly happy if that happened, and could well mark the first time I'm not at a music stage for a late / headline act!

Indeed we are, and it helps to recognise it as such!  Saw these recently and they basically sum me up when it's all getting a bit much

[noplacelikehome]

Afternoon all - organs ready to be freshly harvested (probably best they don't bother with my liver tbh) and have been awaiting the ping of Neils checkpage - almost had a heart attack when the campers went on but acted as a good practice run as realised I had stupidly not opened the page on my pc and in blind panic couldn't remember where I had saved the link - lesson learned.  Have to go to a meeting this afternoon so will be out of action on the ticket front but will log back in as soon as poss. Sun is glorious up her in Manchester today - great to see he fence going up as well - exciting!

The text just said thank you for donation and tells which hospital/s & nhs trust/s the blood was sent to

 

I think they just cut out the middleman with mine and used it to make bloody marys

I've been to leftfield for a couple of debates, and to see Phil Jupitus, but can't recall seeing any music there. I'd be interested in seeing Alf too, if it wasn't for the fact that I (and gumby jr) want to see Foos, but she's also at Beautiful Days, so I'll just hope my shifts allow me to see her there. I may well try to get there for Beans on Toast, though. Avalon was packed out last year, and we couldn't get close enough to hear properly.
